Kelly, who lost his One Fighting Championship featherweight belt to fellow Filipino Honorio Banario last year, came out with a great grappling performance to overcome the Chinese’s strong kicks to the body.

Kelly caught Jianbo in the first round with an armbar which forced the Chinese to tap out.

“Thank you God for letting me last night,” said the 31-year-old Kelly (10-1 win-loss log) via his Facebook account.

Igor Subora retained his URCC heavyweight title with a first-round technical knockout of Southeast Asian Games multiple gold medalist Marcus Valda, who couldn’t get up after being hammered by Igor’s deadly fist.
